Eita and Margery, wow. I totally expected her to be like "nah you're just a kid" kind of thing. Glad she didn't and glad she's back.

Also, have to say I've been looking forward to shit getting this epic since season 1. I really hope they finish this up nicely and tie up all the loose ends, so far it's been amazing. The fights are awesome as hell.

Shana summoning Nioteno no Shana to her was just freaking excellent :O

The bad guys wanna leave and everyone is in "scary shit what we do" mode .... what ?

Spoiler :

I don't think that the bad guys ever said that they were gonna leave, and let the Flame Haze go. The speech was to inform all of the flame haze that after they get slaughtered, the humans and balance that they have been protecting for centuries will be perfectly fine. So the reason why the flame have freaked out was because once they lost their purpose for fighting, they allowed themselves to give up all hope that they could win or even live to see another day. And without hope, they couldn't even fight together anymore.

Ohhh..... that explains something. Thanks. I thought they were planning on leaving without slaughtering flame haze group. So .... if they decided to leave AND let the Flame Haze go wouldn't we have a win-win situation ?

finally caught up, watching this is refreshing, since shana (and all the tsundere loli characters that seemed to have follow in her footsteps) has finally fully realized and accepted her feelings and acted on them. of course next season there will inevitably be another of the exact same type character that will pop up in another series and i'll feel like she regressed.

is it just me or does the new ED hints that Yoshida Kazumi is going to be contracted to Pheles? If so then that would be ******* awesome. I'm really excited about this season even if like nothing really happened in today's episode it was still good to see like the name of Shana's predecessor being revealed and so on. Also that new Flame Haze girl with the yellow arrow carpet thing, the more I see her the more I think she has beaten Shana out in the moe factor. But then again Shana is a really strong character now so a bit less cute but more awesome
